I mean it sounds absurd, but have you seen the size of the landing gear on some of these bigger planes? Like a good A380? Huge tires. I’d get inside her cockpit.

There’s a picture opposite me Of my primitive ancestry Which stood on rocky shores And kept the beaches shipwreck-free Though I respect that a lot I’d be fired if that were my job After killing Jason off And countless screaming Argonauts

I do try to enjoy Tom Scott because he puts effort into his content, it’s usually educational, and he seems like a genuinely nice guy.

But I feel that cringe element too. For me it has to do with the fact that he has such an ingratiating personality. He just wants so badly to ensure that everyone and everything is appreciated to the fullest extent and he’s made completely sure no one can take anything in the wrong way. And that’s a lovely attitude to have in life, but as a presentation style it also feels a bit exhausting. I still watch his videos, but in small doses. There’s only so much well-intentioned earnestness I can take in one sitting.
